As advised in the last post and email Brandy Creek Winery is being renovated and the cafe will be shut until September. This being the case we will be starting from Yarragon this Saturday departing at 8am. Park and meet in the Hahns Lane car park (rear of the shops). Gita and Carolyn will oversee the ride as IdB is away for a couple of weeks.

The weather Gods say it will be partly cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers (1-3mm). Snow possible above 1300 metres. Light winds becoming west to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h in the middle of the day. Overnight temperatures falling to between zero and 5 with daytime temperatures reaching between 9 and 15.

Please ride safely in your respective groups. Given the weather please have your batteries charged and rear lights on.

This Saturday looks like it will be a better day to ride as compared to the very windy days we have been experiencing. 8am depart from Darnum.

Weather forecast – Partly cloudy. Winds northwest to northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h becoming light during the afternoon then becoming northwest to northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h during the evening. Overnight temperatures falling to between 3 and 7 with daytime temperatures reaching between 14 and 19.

Please note that the following Saturday is the last ride for the month of May. Brandy Creek Winery is under renovations and the cafe will not be operating for at least three months. Rather than just using Brandy Creek Winery’s carpark it has been suggested we start from a different venue where there are toilets and where we can have coffee after our ride.

As a trial, the ride for Saturday 28 May 2016 is to depart from Yarragon at our usual time –  8am. Park at the rear of the shops where there is abundant cap parking spaces.

The suggested ride course is to ride to Westbury along North Canal Road and return via Araluen Road. Estimated distance 45km

Gita is organising a  Bingo night to raise funds for her students to support the building of a  library including Khmer books in Cambodia. If the Bingo night last year is any thing to go by this will also be a very interesting and entertaining night.
